Yet another practicioner of the religion of peace, wanting only to spread the true meaning of Islam . . . at least, the vast majority of moderate, peace-loving Muslims have risen up to condemn his actions. What? they haven't? huh . . . that comes as a shock to me, because they're usually right there to -- you mean they don't?
